| Abstract: | Background: Spinal cord injury has become one of the most common conditions in the field of rehabilitation. The injury can happen at any level of the spinal cord and can be classified as complete injury or incomplete, meaning some nervous signals are able to travel past the injured area of the cord. Existing rehabilitation device called mobile arm support (MAS) is used to perform all ADLs independently for the Tetraplegia patients, hemiplegic, muscular dystrophy and upper limb weakness patients. But the cost of the device is not affordable to all the individuals to get benefited. Aim: To design and to check the effectiveness of a modified cost-effective MAS in performing ADL for spinal cord injury (SCI),Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) & Cerebrovascular Accident (CVA) and to test the functional abilities done by the individuals independently in the device. Method: Two participants were enrolled in the study. Subjects were selected as per the inclusion and exclusion criteria. ADL and recreational activities of individuals with hemiplegia and upper limb weakness were assessed with help of cost-effective custom-made MAS. The customized model included gear and locking mechanisms which enables the users to keep the Upper Extremity in desired position to carry out different tasks. Verbal feedback and observation method were adopted for the outcome evaluation. Results: The current study results reported various advantages post use of MAS which included of reduction in spasticity, proper positioning of the upper limb for attaining functional grasp. Improvements in the ability to lift and move the arm with use of MAS were also reported subjectively by the participants. Conclusion: The cost-effective custom-made MAS satisfactorily met the objectives of the study. Recruitment of large no of participants, improvisation of the mechanism i.e. utilization of spring mechanism or rubber band mechanism, quantitative assessment via standardized hand function scale will be useful for the more generalized evidence and improved user acceptability. |
